Hello everyone.
I am trying to find a Z520e for a long time but unfortunately all the providers in my country only have the z560e.
I finally found in the market a z520e which is from T-Mobile DE of I am not wrong.
My question is that since the phone is Tmob branded, does this mean that I might have any issues? In my HTC desire I remember that branded phones had to have goldcards etc when flashing. Does this occur to the One S as well or can I flash let's say the viper S Rom without any issues to be concerned?
Am I gonna be able to change the Tmob Rom with the current official HTC WWE update?
Best regards,
T.

I have a T-Mobile one and have no problems flashing and rooting.

Ok, but can you flash the WWE Rom without root or only the tmob version?
I will root for sure, but I want to be sure that in case of warranty I will be able to find the stock ROM.
Also, do you know if Tmob z520e have the new housing that is not prone to chipping? Is there any picture to see the actual differences?
I have been searching for so long for a z520e..

You'll need to root first and then change CID in order to be able to flash any other RUU than the official TMO one. EVenif you lock the bootloader again, it'll show 'tampered'.

Thanx again mate..
So if the serial number is bigger than SH/HT24 or 25 it will be the revised version?? Which one did you have from Tmob DE??
Also, do you run custom ROM like Viper S? how much space do you have left after clean install?

Hi,
Phone is being exchanged due to dust problem. I had unfortunatley s-offed before problem arose. Still stock ROM though.
There doesn't seem to be a tmobile UK ruu about so i can't follow the guides that are around.
Any ideas?
I really need to sort ASAP as courier is collecting first thing.

This doesn't help answer your question (as there's no s-on method yet), but I can't help but wonder why you would request an exchange when your device was S-OFFed and you had no clue if it was even possible to revert that?
kinda in the same boat myself
I'm pretty sure your good with ship s-off and stock ROM.
Some people got s-off devices, how would they know if it came like that?
I would flash the RUU for your phone just in case.

Hi, I have found mentioned on gsmhosting forum about new RUU for ChaCha phone.
RUU_Chacha_HTC_Europe_1.33.401.1_Radio_47.17.35.30 33H_7.48.35.14_2_release_204385_signed.exe
but cannot find any download link, so I'm asking for help to anybody from here.
They got this on some FTP, becouse this is Support FTP Files List [10.08.2011], but don't know nothing more, any help?
ps.
I will still try to find some more - and if I will found, will try to upload on some hosting service.
Do we need to s-off for this rom to work? i am asking this since this is HTC's stock rom right?

I think not if you have unbranded phone. But if you got phone from carrer, you will need to debrand first, and for do this, you will need to have s=off.
Right now still looking for this soft to download, and it is hard to find it...

This is not that. 1.25 is easy to find, and this is for Asia. We are looking 1.33.
Radio is that same, but we looking for whole firmware, becouse radio can be changed simply and is available here.
Any news from Rom 1.33?
I can not believe in the big Internet this file can not be found for download.

HTC ChaCha
Hi, I have a UK ChaCha tied to T-Mobile. I want to wipe the phone entirely of all T-Mobile software and return it back to how it came from the factory so it will work on any UK network but specifically O2 for the time being.
I`ve been told to hunt down a "clean unbranded factory rom".
Is this available yet and if so how is it done?
Please could somebody also tell me what S=off or S=On means too.
I build PC`s occasionally so not entirely useless but this is all very new to me.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Andy
is that 2.3.5 ? and do i have to be s-off cause i am s-on
thx in advance i am new

If so (and you're S-ON), don't upgrade, you'll lose the gingerbreak root vulnerability.
i've been roaming the HTC One S forums a lot lately, and i've been seeing 'supercid'... i've tried researching on numerous websites but can't quite understand what it is? was wondering if anyone could explain what it is exactly and what it does... thanks
each One S has a CID number, This relates to which country / region the device is from. HTC__001 means HTC Generic Unbranded, As it left the factory, Now most carriers change this to make the phone run their branded software and to receive their branded OTA updates.
Example, Mine is VODAP100 - Which means i can only get updates from Vodafone, not HTC, If i change that to HTC__001 i can get updates from HTC and not Vodafone.
If you change it to 11111111 (superCID) then you will bypass the CID check It also allows you to flash ANY RUU from anywhere in the world allowing you to run, for instance, UK software on a US model or any combination for that matter.
So say there is a Firmware upgrade that is released in the US, It includes various bug fixes and is required to upgrade to a higher Android version, But your in Hong Kong and cannot get this update, You can change your CID and be able to flash this firmware (S-OFF maybe needed)

Regarding the European RUU, I have a completely stock branded to vodafone desire S with the 2.3.5 OTA. Will I have to take any measures besides backing up my stuff to install the RUU?
Normally i wouldn't ask this, but the phone being limited to vodafone only sim cards makes me wonder if the RUU will affect any of it or if i have to do extra steps that I wouldn't with an unbranded phone.
Thanks,
Daniel
I think no one really knows yet. RUU is still too fresh. My guess, yes you can just install this on your branded Desire S. Your SIM lock will stay (this is never affected by a ROM). If you now have a Vodafone boot logo, you might lose that. Any apps put on there by Vodafone, you'll also lose, of course.
Actually that would work great for me, tired of the preinstalled crap As for not losing the sim lock, doesn't bothed me so much.
Kinda just want to update without issues, wondered how it would fit this specific situation.
Thanks for the reply m8
Update:
Installed the RUU without issues, phone seems to be working fine so far.. actually have more free memory than before (both without apps installed, did a reset before installing the RUU)
Wifi and 3G are working, phone is smooth but to be fair.. only installing apps atm.. glad to have the update

Did you use anything else except the ics RUU from htcdev? I also have a stock branded TIM Italy Desire S last time updated also via OTA to android 2.3.5 and I want to upgrade to ICS. Sorry for posting in your thread, but I didn't find anything in the forums to answer my question.

I don't care about the guarantee because I don't use the phone in Italy from where it was bought. Debranding is also a good thing for me. Just want to know if it worked just with the RUU for hin or he needed extra stuff.

no need to unbrand. This RUU is WWE and can be used with all Desire S. Just run RUU if your phone is s-on.
Or you can follow my instruction if you want to use goldcard to update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1866204

I'm new to this site, just registered. Sorry i'm a noob!! So I have had the Blue Tmobile One S since august but sold that one to my friend and bought a black one from a guy and said it's from solavei, So I try it and everything seems legit except It's running Android 4.0.3 and Sense 4.0. So I go to menu>Software updates>check now to see if I can get the OTA they had in September but it says I am currently up to date. I checked my sotfware information and it said my software number was 1.84.1135.17 71ORD. I look online to see if I can some how download it and it told me that if I don't have these two other numbers and had something else then the warranty is void and I can't get updates. So My big question is how can I change my software number? Do I have to like root my phone? Then some how unroot it back to a different stock ROM? I'm open to suggestions and I would really like an answer thanks!!

If you're on 1.84 I would not update via OTA. You probably have a 1.06 or .09 hboot, which will be extremely nice for you.
I would suggest unlocking your bootloader via HTC and installing TrickDroid if you want stock. There arr several guides, including a all in one tool to help you with the process.

You can try typing *#*#CHECKIN#*#* into the dialer and then checking for updates.
Or you can find a T-Mobile US 2.35 RUU and running that. However it will be more difficult to flash ROMs once you have upgraded if you want to do that later on.

I tried that and all it did was say in my notifications "checkin succeeded" and nothing else happend.. so idk about that. I'm not really looking to root my phone, all I really want to do is have my phone run on the latest software and get OTA updates if possible. But if I need to root it, I will. And for the second thing, I'd have to root my phone to run the 2.35 right?

After "checkin succeeded" you should then check for updates in Settings, as I mentioned earlier.
You seem to be running an "ORD" build which is basically like a Beta test for the latest software. RD stands for Research & Development. The latest 2.35 RUU should work without rooting.
However that will upgrade your HBOOT and make it more difficult if you decide to root later on.
